Welcome Friends of Fashion.

Hello to All. My name is Chandra. I am a lover of music, fashion, tea, animals, our earth, designing accessories, family and mostly, love. I enjoy collecting tea pots, craft supplies, Compact Discs, nail polish and above all clothing.
I have started this blog to focus on just that...clothing. Thanks to my beautiful mother, fashion has been my friend since I can remember. I first fell in love with it as a young girl when I was able to stylize my very first outfit complete with rain boots, ruffled socks, polka dot leggings, a character shirt, and an incorrectly buttoned up rain jacket. And still, as a woman in my mid- twenties, I simply cannot get enough of it.
This blog is meant for those of you, who like me, happen to be a buyer on a budget, earth friendly, and/or simply have a passion for the world of fashion. As a lover of the earth, a finder of great deals, and a designer of fashion accessories, I plan to show you ways to recycle and enhance items in your closet while spending little or no money.
I will often times feature ideas involving my "Thrifty Three". These are three simple categories that will help you expand and embellish your wardrobe while still keeping your finances in check.
My "Thrifty Three" are as follows:
1. 2WBT1(Two ways are better than one): With this label, I will display at least two ways to wear one item of clothing. This allows you to add novelty and variety to your closet without adding detriment to your finances.
2. RR (Reuse, Recycle)-Embrace Secondhand: With this category, I hope to encourage you to fall in love with thrift stores, hand-me-downs, and creating new from old. Recycled/Reused clothing is not only good for our earth, but can be very useful to a savvy fashionista. This is where we will get creative with items of the past. Any item can be stellar with the right stylizing.
3. +a (Add accessories): Finding a bargain price on accessories and/or designing pieces of your own can add a whole new look to outfits you already own. Accessories can be an inexpensive way to complete, amplify an/or redesign a look.
Referring back to my "Thrifty Three" will adorn your style, expand your wardrobe, and reduce your spending. And remember, the "Thrifty Three" often go hand in hand. Don't be afraid to mix and match these tips.
The photos I will share will feature my "Thrifty Three" and much, much more. Thank you so much for visiting. I hope you enjoy. -Chandra.tcs

Seasons come and go, but fashion is forever.

Hello Fans of Fashion, Hope all is well in the world of dress-up. For my first fashion post, I was inspired by my 2WBT1  label. However, with the item I chose, I couldn't stop at only two. Blazers are the perfect piece to use year round and are generally fairly easy to find secondhand if you don't already own one. My mustard, sweater blazer is one of my favorite items in my closet and the possibilites for it are endless. Because blazers are such a versatile item, I have decided to show you ways that you can incorporate yours into your look all year long. This week, 4WBT1 because a blazer is the most stellar way to celebrate each of the four seasons. Spring: Spring is a great time to pull out a mini, but wearing one can leave you feeling chilly in breezy weather. Adding a blazer, allows you to bring out the "sunny weather" items you have been waiting to wear all winter long, while maintaining your warmth on those windy, spring days. With this look, I am w...

Denim '4' Days: The Button Down

Hello Beauties! It is time to bring out your denim, folks! This week, I am excited to start a new series for my blog..."Denim '4' Days." Denim is timeless and is one of the easiest items to style using a 2WBT1 label. Most of you probably own a variety of denim. If you are looking for ways to reuse and adorn these pieces, this series is for you. Dress it up. Dress it down. At the office. On the town. Here are 4 ways to wear your denim. The Button Down: Denim button downs are everywhere right now, making them the perfect item in which to kick off my "Denim '4' Days" series. I was able to find this denim shirt at a thrift store ( RR-Embrace Secondhand ).  Denim has yet to fade out of style and I am quite certain it never will which makes thrifting for denim inexpensive, easy and fun. Day 1: For my first look, I chose to give my denim a dressed up feel by throwing it over the top of my favorite LBD (Little Black Dress). Becaus...
